Stray savers of Scarborough
Excitement around here earlier this evening during the thunderstorm Baxter was looking out the window and was barking like crazy (not afraid of storms) I look out and see he's barking to a big old beagle who was out all alone in the storm, obliviously splashing through the park and street puddles. I head out with treats in hand and Baxter's leash and she won't trust me to get near enough to harness her. I decide that the royal touch is called for and out goes the kween following her up the street - after about 15 minutes she's back with the stray in tow. She (the beagle) has a collar and a collar tag, so we ring and ring the number while being put into the dreaded rotation -as "our call is very important to them!" We're now standing outside in the rain with a soaking stray who's happily gronfing down the treats we proffer. We see an SUV pull into and out of the school parking lot up the block and the kween sez "That's the owner, I just feel it" whereupon she heads off and fl@gs them down as they're going by- what do you know -she's right it was the grateful owners of "Patches" A happy ending and of course Baxter spent the next 3 hours gazing out the window with nary a blink 'cos he wants to be the hero again.
